Vermont Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Does Vermont have a red flag law or extreme risk protection order law?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only in cases of domestic violence

4. It's under consideration, but not yet law

The correct answer is: Yes

Vermont does have a red flag law or extreme risk protection order law. This type of law permits a court in the state to remove firearms or weapons from individuals who pose a danger to themselves or others. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that Vermont does not have any form of red flag law or that it only applies in certain circumstances. Option B is incorrect because Vermont passed a red flag law in 2018, making it the 17th state to do so. Option C is incorrect because the law applies to all individuals who are deemed a risk, not just those involved in domestic violence. And finally, option D is incorrect because the red flag law has already been implemented in the state, rather than still being under consideration.
